Many people confuse PRINCE2 as a “traditional” or “waterfall” project management method, and wrongly assume that it cannot be applied with the more cutting-edge “agile” project management techniques. In fact, PRINCE2 is applicable to any project and is fully enabled to work in an agile environment. That said, most PRINCE2 Practitioners do not have sufficient understanding of agile techniques to be able to adopt the Agile methods, and many agile practitioners do not understand the flexibility that PRINCE2 provides.

Prerequisites: As of October 2016, PRINCE2 Agile certification can be taken if the participant hold any of the certifications:

• PRINCE2 Foundation

• PRINCE2 Practitioner

• Project Management Professional® (PMP)

• Certified Associate in Project Management® (CAPM)

• IMPA Levels A,B,C and D® (Certified Projects Director)

As per AXELOS, these prerequisites will initially run until December 2017.

Audience: Primarily, PRINCE2 Agile is for those members of the PRINCE2 community who are practicing agile, are wanting to become more agile, or are encountering more agile. It may also be useful to agile practitioners who want to adopt PRINCE2 project governance to complement their existing agile practices.
